Framing the afghanistan war in spanish headlines: an analysis with supervised learning algorithms

Abstract

This article studies the presence of two frames, security and human drama, in the Spanish press, specifically in 10 newspapers, during the development of the Resolute Support Mission (2015-2020). Through computational research techniques, Support Vector Machines (SVM), 3,890 headlines have been analyzed. The article concludes that the Spanish press has undergone a process of securitization strongly influenced by the national context of Afghanistan and internationally.
